REFLECTOR:Carbon Beam Thickness- hard points

[Alexander Balic]

about that hard point- I spoke with Brendon at the factory about that,
because I spent a lot of time fabricating 2 that would fit nicely inside the
beams, and I wanted the exact spot for placement, but he said that they
really need to go on the outside of the beam because when the door closes,
the gas spring moves across the corner, and it needs to stick out away from
the beam a bit to clear- if anyone has put them internally let me know,
because I have not quite done it yet, and would prefer (aesthetically) to
put them inside the beams.

I don't no if your plans are different than mine but you might want to
look at where the door strut attaches .  The new style attaches higher on
the beam so you may want to but a hard point in that area also before
you attach it to the plane.
